About the Designer

Pamela Thompson, former Head Designer at Betsey Johnson and Heatherette, has become one of the brightest young stars to come out of the New York Fashion Scene. Pamela came to NYC from Chicago in 1992 to launch her career in Fashion Design. With 15 years in the industry, Pamela has successfully launched her own signature label.
The Collection of dresses, augmenting her charming style is launching for Summer 2008. The Collection blends striking hand drawn prints with silhouettes that are not only reminiscent of things past, but truly point the direction to fashion's future with crystal clarity. The Collection features fine fabrics, attention to detail and construction and design that allows the wearer’s personality to shine through. Simply put, Pamela designs clothing that makes you smile.
During her 15 year career, Pamela was Head Designer at Betsey Johnson, designing some of Betsey’s best selling dresses, which are still being sold today.

Pamela also continues her 10 year collaboration with Anna Sui, working on both Anna’s website design and various graphic tee shirt designs for her Collection.
